Pop punk’s back
Bring on the black nail varnish
It’s been 20 years since Avril Lavigne released Sk8r Boi, but it’s time to grab the studded belt and sideswoop that fringe, because pop punk is back. From Travis Barker becoming a Kardashian to Paramore’s new music – scene queens, it’s your time to shine. Teen angst: optional.
Travis Barker is an ‘it girl’ now
If, a few years ago, we’d told you that Kourtney Kardashian and Blink 182’s Travis Barker would be a hot celeb couple, you’d ask if we had concussion. Suddenly, the chipped black nail varnish boys of our teenage dreams are as mainstream as it gets.
We’re all dressing like 2002 Kelly Osbourne
Y2K fashion is having a moment, along with lowrise jeans, pleated tartan skirts and mesh tops. Those Jenner and Hadid street style snaps look like the red carpet at the 2003 Kerrang! Awards.
Iconic pop punk heroes are returning
Emo queen Avril Lavigne is releasing new music this year and heading on tour, as are the likes of Paramore, Weezer, Simple Plan, Billy Talent, Bowling For Soup and more. We’re firing up our MySpace accounts as we speak.
Even our favourite mainstream artists are at it
We’ve had Olivia Rodrigo’s
